my best time was a 61.1 running 215/45/17 tires. Excuses, excuses. 
I was the 04 wrb wagon w/ prodrive P1s, running right behind racenut in the sunday afternoon run group.
btw, if anyone knows the dips in the red 350z, black rsx-s, and white evo that ran in the late run(group 6), tell them that swirving around at 65MPH on the freeway is not cool to anyone else. if no one else is around go ahead and swirve with your buddies, but not when the highway is packed.

I was glad to see a good Subie turnout and that most were all in group 6. I went from 67.2 (2 cones) to 64.2. I think if I do it again I will get better. I should not have done it because I can now feel my wallet getting even lighter in the future.
Oh and I love the fact that they tried to mess with you about being a wagon, yet you still held it down. +1 for wagons.

Get some stiffer springs, front and rear sway bars, and that will kill much of the body roll that gives you three wheel motion.

At one point in my third run I did hit a couple cones when my car got a little wild, but nothing other then that.

Sorry, that must have been the other wagon. They told him something was up with his steering or something like that.

My rears had 36 psi cold and they didn't seem to have a problem (of course).
My car is stock stock stock from the dealer (I wanted it that way to see just what a totally stock car is like in autox), save for my kosei 17x7's with Goodyear F1's (all stock size). As a result of this suck... I mean stock set up, I *think* it *looks* like my front tires have positive camber.
I had been waiting for this event to pass before going with these plans:
- professional alignment with -1 static camber in the front.
- whiteline 22mm adjustable front sway bar and Kartboy endlinks
- whiteline 22mm adjustable rear sway bar and Kartboy endlinks
- whiteline rear strut tower bar (and quickreleases) for my wagon-dad-mobile
I'm holding off on the springs for now as I have kid #2 due next week... and this car is #1 my commuter, #2 my secondary family car, and then #3 my fun car. Eventually, I'll probably go with STi wagon pinks on Koni's... or if I can figure out is the Crucial bias towards the front doesn't have a huge effect on front/rear weight bias.
